the muffin

I've developed a dangerous affinity for muffins. I've always liked them. When I was in HS I regularly made batches of blueberry muffins (ala Betty Crocker) for breakfast. But its gotten worse. At my last job, the one thing the cafe did right was muffins -- specifically cranberry walnut. They were amazing. And huge. And I hold them responsible for keeping at least some of the post-college-misery pounds on my extremities. I'm two days out of that job, and will no longer be headed to the cafe for a monster muffin at 9 am 3 days a week. I thought about this this morning when I got up, and proceeded to go to the Stop and Shop and buy myself a (n equally fabulous and huge) banana nut muffin for breakfast. This could be a problem.

  1. corey's sister eats a bran muffin every day for breakfast despite warnings from her family and doctor. i think they are addictive, specifically when they have the large sugar crystals on the top.

  2. Her doctor is warning her about BRAN? I know plenty of people that could use some more bran. It might make them look less pained all the time.

  3. well those BRAN muffins aren't exactly fat free fiber whores like the metamusil bars from the grocery store. chances are, if it's enormous and tastes delicious it's only PRETENDING to be a healthy muffin.

  4. Deceptive advertising? For food? Inconceivable!

    I must be behind the curve on fiber factoids b/c I get mine from tree-hugger granola.
